Alternative Fahrzeugantriebe im Feuerwehreinsatz

Motor vehicles with alternative drives, such as natural gas, liquid gas, electric or hydrogen drives, are becoming more and more popular. While fire brigades are well prepared for operations with motor vehicles with conventional combustion engines, the necessary knowledge and experience is often lacking for alternative drives. This book presents the current state of the art in alternative forms of propulsion and deals with the tactical principles that must be taken into account during operations with these vehicles. The 2nd edition has been comprehensively updated and takes into account, among other things, the latest crash test results as well as findings on dealing with damaged high-voltage batteries and on fighting fires within the batteries.
